Dear All,

how can I use subplot in the following way?

In matlab:

```julia
nn =2;
subplot(2,2,nn);

```

In Julia

```julia
using PyPlot
 nn = 2
subplot(12nn)

```

`ValueError('Integer subplot specification must be a three-digit number, not 36',)`

Is this a bug in PyPlot?

With PyPlot, you _can_ do  
`subplot(2,2,nn)`
